SEL Videos about Feelings and emotions
Learning to recognize and name emotions is an important part of developing self-awareness. In The Sad Toothbrush, Annie & Rocco help children explore what sadness can feel like and introduce a simple creative activity: drawing or scribbling a feeling on paper.
Great for ages 3-6: Use the video on its own or pair it with The Feelings Journal for a story-and-play activity about identifying emotions.Â
